I think "lithopod" might be derived from the Greek word "lithos", which means stone (as they consume stone) and "arthopod", which are insects/arachnids. If this is the case, it might be a good idea to make a trivia section about this. Thoughts? --PikminFanatic23

:Agreed, but maybe we can get more solid confirmation. You say you're not 100% sure about that. '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 06:49, 10 February 2012 (EST)

::Well let's hear what the others have to say about this before actually confirming this thought. --PikminFanatic23
:::Seems pretty obvious and straightforward, yes, I guess you can add it if you wish.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
::::Okay, then I'll just do that then. --PikminFanatic23
:::::See, that's what I don't particularly like. The sentence uses too many "likely" and "possibly due". This is a wiki about facts, not speculation. If those Greek words really mean what is stated, then that explanation is more than likely correct, and we don't need those speculative keywords.

::::::I was thinking the same as I read through it.  Just make sure it's true, then state 'this part of the latin name means this in Greek'. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span> 15:07, 12 February 2012 (EST)

It means "stone foot." It seems kind of silly to abbreviate "arthropod" as "pod" when pod already has its own meaning. Furthermore I'm 99% certain they were intended to be insects and not just that they resemble insects, so it would be weird to use arthropod in their family name because of a resemblance to...themselves.
You are right about the first part though, and I think it's definitely worth mentioning in Trivia. Good catch. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 10:07, 18 February 2012 (EST)
